Description
The Alhambra has been home to Nasrid sultans and Christian kings, such as Charles V, but what was the first Sabika of the sultans like? What did they expect from the Alhambra? Why did Charles V fall in love with Granada? The expert guides will give you the answers hidden in the hill, while you enjoy its peace, beauty and tranquillity. In this experience, our professional guides will lead you from one side of the Sabika Hill to the other, entering the public areas of the enclosure and stopping at some of the most important monumental spaces. They will cover aspects of the "Medina Alhambra" and you will learn about the vegetation of the hill that borders the corners of the wall, the water, the soil, the gates and its defensive system. You will also understand the importance of the "Christian Alhambra", learning about the history of this important heritage site.
What we are going to do?
An easy cultural hiking route that will take you through a unique and protected open space, with forests, rivers, ravines, viewpoints and trails in and around Granada.

Strolling through this privileged environment full of vegetation, you will learn historical facts that will surprise you, while you will feel the tranquillity of its colours and the sound of the water. More than a guided tour, this is an evocative experience that will teach you about Nasrid culture and that you will be able to enjoy to the full thanks to your expert guide, who will satisfy your curiosity in a personal and professional way.
